Manner of Reporting Vandalism
To report a user for vandalism, follow these steps:
- Cautions and alternatives
- Please do not bite the newcomers. Do not list newbie tests and mistakes as vandalism. Instead, assume good faith and list them at Misplaced Pages:Clueless newbies.
- If you suspect an edit may be vandalism but are unsure, list the edit on RC patrol.
- Do not report NPOV disputes here.
- Do not report accuracy disputes here.
- In both of these circumstances, use Requests for comment.
- If a page is being defaced at a high rate, page protection may be requested here.
- Report three revert rule violations at WP:AN/3RR.
- If you come across very recent vandalism where it seems that the perpetrator should be blocked immediately (and has already been warned), try listing your report on Misplaced Pages:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
